sharply realistic comedy of adultery and friendship."- Entertainment Weekly SALLY ROONEY NAMED TO THE 2019 TIME 100 NEXT LIST - WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK) YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD - ONE OF BUZZFEED'S BEST BOOKS OF THE DECADE - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VOGUE AND SLATE AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED AND ELLE Frances is a coolheaded and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Rooms apart, the pair continue their affair metres from Nick's wife and Frances's ex-lover, adding to an already deeply uneasy, but arguably romantic, situation.About the Book Includes eassys, reader's guides, and more.īook Synopsis " cult-hit.
As in the novel, the risk of their relationship reaches its climax as the foursome holiday at a (beautifully chic) Croatian villa. The pair seem to fall upon one another in a flurry of awkward silences and inappropriate desire.
To the backdrop of Bobbi and Mellisa's quick-witted and flirtatious conversation, Nick and Frances's sexual tension and romantic chemistry begins to build. Oliver does a brilliant job as the introverted Frances, whose lip biting, flushed cheeks and hunched posture gives the character a true-to-the-book lack of self-assurance.
Melissa's glamourously sophisticated wardrobe, with its backless satin tops and chic cocktail dresses, provides a great contrast to her young friends' mishmash outfits, and seems to deliberately throw shade on her husband's lover's badly fitted denim playsuits and striped t-shirts. Both circumstances speak to Millennials and Gen-Zs alike, making the series an amusingly relatable watch. In contrast, the slightly pretentious Nick and Melissa host them at a large oak table in their Farrow & Ball painted kitchen, discussing writing and making pompous jokes about communism. The initial episodes provide a nostalgic depiction of student life, as Bobbi and Frances bob along the streets of Dublin, giggling, partying and drinking beer on their faux leather sofas.
